Job Description

Service Care Solutions is seeking a qualified and experienced Probation Officer (PO) to join the newly established Impact Cases Team within the London Probation Region. Based at Bexley PDU, this role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to an innovative approach focused on delivering desistance-based interventions to high-impact service users.\n
\n
\n Unlike traditional roles, this post does not involve standard caseload management. Instead, you will work intensively with a select group of individuals identified as “impact cases” to support sustained behaviour change, promote desistance, and reduce reoffending through targeted intervention work.\n
\n
Key Responsibilities Desistance-Based Interventions\n
    \n
  • Deliver structured, evidence-led desistance work specifically tailored to individuals identified as impact cases.

    • \n
  • Use motivational techniques and engagement strategies to build rapport and encourage positive behavioural change.

    • \n
  • Support service users in identifying personal strengths, goals, and meaningful pathways away from offending.

    • \n
Assessment & Collaboration\n
    \n
  • Undertake focused risk and needs assessments to identify barriers to desistance.

    • \n
  • Work closely with internal colleagues, partner agencies, and local services to coordinate holistic support for impact cases.

    • \n
  • Contribute to multi-agency planning, ensuring that interventions are aligned with risk management plans.

    • \n
Monitoring & Compliance\n
    \n
  • Ensure compliance with probation requirements through regular contact and targeted work sessions.

    • \n
  • Take appropriate action where risk escalates or non-compliance occurs.

    • \n
Documentation & Reporting\n
    \n
  • Maintain accurate and timely records of all interventions and service user engagement.

    • \n
  • Provide concise updates to managers and stakeholders regarding progress, challenges, and risk-related matters.

    • \n
Crisis Response\n
    \n
  • Respond effectively to emerging risks or crises, ensuring swift escalation and coordination with relevant teams.

    • \n
Qualifications & Experience\n
    \n
  • Essential: Qualified Probation Officer (PQIP or equivalent).

    • \n
  • Solid understanding of desistance theory, risk assessment, and offender rehabilitation.

    • \n
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to motivate individuals with complex needs.

    • \n
  • Ability to work independently within a fast-paced and evolving team structure.

    • \n
Additional Information\n
    \n
  • IR35 Status: Inside IR35

    • \n
  • Travel: £1,000 travel allowance included

    • \n
  • Facilities: On-site car park available, though spaces operate on a staff rota

    • \n
  • Pay: £28.63 - £31.52 (£22.90 - £25.15 PAYE approx)

    • \n
